Fit Over 40: Role Models of Excellence At Any Age, by Jon Benson and Tom Venuto

Fit Over 40 stands apart from many other fitness programs I have reviewed. Jon and Tom have put together detailed, highly readable and enjoyable portraits of 52 over-40 men and women who are committed to exercise, nutrition and healthy lifestyle. Each of the 52 people has developed an optimal fit approach - both physically and psychologically. Instead of one ‘cookie-cutter’, each person has a unique approach. That gives you 52 different lifestyles as you were reading 52 fitness books. I was inspired the most by Jon’s personal story of resurrection from obese and dying to healthy, lean and Fit over  40. Jon and Tom give amazing insights into the mind behind the muscle – the core, as Jon calls it. It will change the way you go about it. You can adopt the self regulatory skills you’ve successfully used for exercise and nutrition and adapt them to other facets of your life, so you can truly have a transformative effect on your life.
